We sat at the bar table in the bar section, and it was comfortable and allowed for space to enjoy the surrounding bar and see into the dining rooms. The service was good throughout. The food was very good, especially the mushroom toast appetizer and the sea bass entrees. The cheesecake dessert was delicious!
